Never, never, never stop riding riding "non-credit" miles.
If one is only ride "for credit", why bother riding at all? Ride for the enjoyment of the ride, not for "credit". "Credit" should be a by-product, not the purpose.
There are lots of interesting and scenic roads and places within easy (possibly "easy") riding distance of the Triangle, almost all of which are NOT on any RUSA brevet, permanent or populaire route. I love exploring new roads, connected to my "usual" routes, so much that I seldom repeat the same (long) route more than once or twice a year. (Short, 30 or 40 mile, routes is a different story.)

I assume that you get e-mail warnings regarding messages, therefore:
So far, in this year 2012, seven rides ... six for RUSA credit.
"The seventh," you ask?
Was a ride to MikeD's for the sole purpose of signing a RUSA waiver and getting RUSA permanent control cards.
Uhhh.
